No, it's not worth going to the Racetrack. The Racetrack has been desecrated, if you have not heard already. A couple idiots drove onto the playa when it was wet doing figure 8's and ruining the ambiance. The good news is they were able to track these guys by satellite and found out who they are.

I didn't know about the damage to the racetrack and looked up some articles on this recent event, it is a shame that some idiot (s) did this, but I still say it worth the drive out.
As to your photo size limitation I use Faststone batch photo resizer, it's free and simple to use.
Sadly this is becoming more and more common. One of the other issues are the rocks on the Playa are being stolen. So those going to the Racetrack are seeing less and less of the results of the long term affects of these rocks on the Playa.
